Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — Attempt to call the vessel on VHF radiotelephone because she is disabled.
International Code Flag "F" indicates "I am disabled; communicate with me." When observed on an approaching vessel, mariners should attempt radio contact via VHF radiotelephone to ascertain their status and provide assistance.
